GRANITE BAY (CBS13) – A Granite Bay teen has gone from high school student to inmate overnight, and is facing a long time in jail for allegedly trying to light a home on fire while a family was asleep inside.

The family escaped unharmed, and now the teen suspect is charged with attempted homicide.

“They’re very distraught right now,” said Nina Delgadillo, spokesperson for the family.

The family of four was terrorized in the middle of the night by what was downstairs.

“Their alarm went off; they came downstairs and found that there was a fire in their living room,” Delgadillo said.

Investigators say the fire was lit by a Molotov cocktail. The firebomb was thrown through a window that had just been shattered with a rock.
